Packard Motor Car Co. advertisement

Description:

Packard Motor Car Co. advertisement. Printed in black ink on white paper. The advertisement shows a photograph entering a Packard automobile outside an opera house.

Many of them are traveling in second class comfort, not realizing that they pay first-class prices for it." Text below reads "Does it Really Cost any more to Travel First Class."
